Slow Fade

Be careful little eyes what you see
Its the second glance that ties your hands
As darkness pulls the stringsBe careful little feet where you go
For its the little feet behind you
That are sure to followIts a slow fade
When you give yourself away
Its a slow fade
When black and white are turned to grayAnd thoughts invade, choices are made
A price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a dayIts a slow fade
Its a slow fadeBe careful little ears what you hear
When flattering leads to compromises
The end is always nearBe careful little lips what you say
For empty words and promises
Leave broken hearts astrayIts a slow fade
When you give yourself away
Its a slow fade
When black and white are turned to grayAnd thoughts invade, choices are made
A price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a dayThe journey from your mind to your hands
Is shorter than youre thinking
Be careful if you think you stand
You just might be sinkingIts a slow fade
When you give yourself away
Its a slow fade
When black and white are turned to grayAnd thoughts invade, choices are made
A price will be paid
When you give yourself awayPeople never crumble in a day
Daddies never crumble in a day
Families never crumble in a dayOh, be careful little eyes what you see
Oh, be careful little eyes what you see
For the Father up above is looking down in love
Oh, be careful little eyes what you see
